1Yesu adetili nawu kandi kwa chilangushilu,
2“Wutwa wa kumbindi kwa Chapanga wifwana na Mutwa yamtandili mwana waki mlumi lihungu lya kuheta.
3Topi, kavakema Vandumindumi vaki kavalayisha, mukavalaliki vandu vayisi muhalusi, lakini yivalalikiwili valema kwisa.
4Kavalayisha kandi Vandumindumi vamonga, kadeta, mukavawombeli vala vandivalalikili. ‘Lihungu lyangu liva kala, senga wangu yanunili kasinjiwa kala, kila chindu chiva kala, mwisi kulihungu!’
5Lakini veni vatinuka ha, vayenda, yumu kuchitava chaki na wingi kayenda kufichuku fyaki,
6na vamonga vavakamula vala Vandumindumi vavajowola na kuvawulagha.
7Yula mutwa kakalala, kavalayila vamachonda vaki vakavamalili vala vavawulayili vayawu na kubohola mbwani yawu.
8Pambeli kavawombela Vandumindumi vaki, ‘Lihungu liva kala, lakini valalikiwa vangajila kulatiwa.
9Topi, muyendi kunjila mukavawombeli vandu vovosi vala, mukavayeghi vayisi kulihungu.’
10Vala Vandumindumi vawuka, vayenda kunjila, vavayegha vandu vosi, vawafu na vanofu. Mbaka nyumba ya vahenja yamemili,
11“Mutwa payingilili kavalola vahenja, kamuwona mundu yumu yafwalili ng'odu yingwa ya lihungu.
12Mutwa kamudasha, ‘Ghanja kwingila wuliwuli apa ngajila yingwa ya lihungu?’ Lakini mweni kayikala jii.
13Topi, mutwa kavawombela vandumindumi vaki, ‘Mumuwopi mawulu na mawoku mukamuyasi panji muchisi, aku dalili na kugelujula minu,’”
14Yesu kamalilila kwa kudeta, “Valalikiwili vatangala, ila vadokwa yivashawuliwili.”
15Mafwalisayu vayenda, vawombana ndambu ya kumuwomesha Yesu kwa filongu fyaki.
16Pambeli, vavalayisha Vandundami wawu pamu na Vandundami va lipinga lya Helodi vamudasha, “Muwula, tukumanya kucha yuwi kuva mundu wa nakaka na ukuwula nakaka deha ya Chapanga kwa ugoleki, ukumtila mundu yoyosi ha, kwanongwa ukomi wa mundu kwa yuwi chindu ha.
17Ponopa wutuwombeli chiwihola, yiva nyanyi awu ng'odu kuhomba kodi kwa Mutwa wa Loma?”
18Lakini Yesu amanyili kala milandu yawu ya wafu, kavawombela, “Yumwi muvafyangu mbona mukunyesha?
19Munangushi mbiya ya kuhombela kodi.” Vamulangusha ligwala lya mbiya.
20Topi, Yesu kavadasha, “Wushu na lihundu ali lya ghani?”
21Vamuyangula, “Mutwa wa Loma.” Yesu kavawombela, “Nyanyi, fya Mutwa wa Loma mumupi Mutwa wa Loma na fya Chapanga mumupi Chapanga.”
22Pavapikanishili naha vayikanganika, vamuleka, veni vayenda.
23Lijuva lila, Masadukayu vamu vadeta, yivasovili vakushukuka ng'odu. Vamu vamwisila Yesu vamuwombela,
24“Muwula, Musa adetili mdala pasova mbendi, yula ngalimlyangu ahaliwi na mlongumundu, ili amuleleli vana mlongumundu.
25Topi, pavelili na valongu saba. Soli ahetili pambeli kasova mbendi, kahaliwa kandi na mlongu wingi.
26Yiva wuwowu hata kwa mlongu wingi wa tatu, mbaka mlongu wa saba.
27Pavasovili valongu vosi na yula ngalimlyangu asovili wuwowu.
28Ponopa lijuva pavashukuka vala yivasovili daghavi mdala wa ghani? Kwa vala valumi saba yivasovili? Kwa nongwa vosi saba vamutolili.”
29Yesu kavayangula, “Yumwi muvifya kwanongwa mumanya ha Mayandiku Vang'alili wala liwovi lya Chapanga.
30Nongwa yivasovili pavashukuka davaheti ha wala kuhetiwa, davavi kucha Makungu wa Chapanga.
31Lakini kwilata kushukuka yivasovili, wuli, musoma ng'odu fila fyavawombilili Chapanga?
32Chapanga kadeta, ‘Nenga ndiva Chapanga wa Ibulahimu na Chapanga wa Isaka na Chapanga wa Yakobi!’ Topi mweni Chapanga wa yivasovili ha ila ndi Chapanga wa yivaveli vanofu.”
33Lila lipinga lya vandu pavapikanishili naha liyikang'anika ng'ulilu yaki.
34Mafwalisayu pavapikanishili kucha Masadukayu vavahela chilongu chingi cha kumdasha Yesu, vayikungulili pamu.
35Muyawu yumu aveli mundu wa Malawu, ayeshili kumdasha Yesu kwa kumuyesha.
36Amudashili, “Muwula, amuli liki yiveli ngomi munu pitu shosi mumalawu?”
37Yesu kavayangula, “Mtami Bambu Chapanga waku kwa ndima yaku yosi na kwa fuki yaku na kwa luhala lwaku losi:
38Ali ndi lilawu likomi na lyakwaa.
39Ya pili yikwifwana na ayi, ‘Mtami mjofi waku kucha witama umweni.’
40Malawu vosi va Musa na mayandiku va vambuyi va Chapanga vakwiyidumbila Malawu mavili ava.”
41Mafwalisayu pavayikungili pamu, Yesu avadashili,
42“Yumwi mukuwona wuliwuli chilongu achi chimwilata Kilistu Mkombola? Wuli, kava mwana wa lukolu liki?” Vamuyangula, “Wa lukolu lwa Dawudi.”
43Yesu kavawombela, “Topi, yikuva wuliwuli kucha kwa liwovi lya Mfuki Mng'alili Dawudi akumkema mweni Bambu? Kwa nongwa adetili.
44‘Bambu amuwombilili Bambu wangu, Wuyikali mwabu wanenga wa mlilu: mbaka ndivaviki mangandawu vaku pasi ya mawulu vaku.’
45Topi, leki Dawudi akumkema Mkombola Bambu, yikuva wuliwuli Mkombola ghavi mwana wa Dawudi?”
46Kwa hela mundu yoyosi yaweshili kumuyangula chilongu. Na kukandila lijuva lililalila kwa hela yagelili kumudasha chindu.
